Question

if cast a horary chart and the Ascendant is in the beginning or ending degrees of a sign..what does it mean?

Answer 1

Most astrologers use the Placidus system of house division. Doesn't matter if the Ascendant is late in the sign. All you have to do is to start researching major life events, corelating them with Primary Directions of the degree of your Ascendant, and you see that the whole sign system fails. The only caveat with an Ascendant late in a sign .. or early in a sign, for that matter .. is you want to make sure it is an accurate and precise birth time. The Ascendant moves at the rate of approx. 1 degree for every 4 minutes of clock time. So it your Ascendant is 28 Pisces, all you need is for your actual birth to have occurred 9 minutes later and your Ascendant is shown in the wrong sign. Birth times are often rounded off ... a 3:00 PM birth is rarely a birth AT 3:00 PM, for instance.

Answer 2

Horary chart is very true if u know the method of understanding horary is good answering for any matter

Answer 3

There is a set of rules or as they are usually called "considerations before judgment," in horary and one of them concerns late and early degrees rising. Some say that if only three degrees are rising then the answer to the question hasn't been determined yet and that if the last three degrees are rising it is too late to ask the question. In the 20th century an astrologer named "Barbara Watters started calling the considerations "strictures" and claimed the chart was not "radical" and could not be read if any of the strictures were evident in the chart.



The problem with Watters' reasoning is that it is almost impossible to cast a chart that does not include at least one and usually more than one of the strictures. One astrologer claims that the strictures were an invention of old astrologers to avoid reading a chart if the outcome would anger the querent who held the power of life and death over the astrologer. "Whoops, sorry Your Majesty, Saturn is in the 7th house. We'll have to see about the outcome of the battle later." I have my doubts about this theory although it is plausible.



A more sensible position, at least in my view, is that the considerations are red flags and indicate something subtle in the chart that an astrologer is likely to miss.There are techniques in horary astrology that don't often pop up, like collection of light, that the astrologer is likely to miss, and the considerations might be a shout out to pay closer attention to the chart. All horary charts can be read. The saying is "as above so below," "not as above so below every now and then."
